About the Organisation

Organisation Name : Pollinate Energy

Pollinate Energy brings life-changing products to people who need them most – from solar powered lights to improved cook stoves to water filters. In India for the 65 million living in urban poverty they are the missing link in the chain, allowing them to access, understand, and afford household products that make daily life better and safer. They also create jobs for women and minorities, giving them the skills and tools to generate a sustainable income to support their local communities.

As of this month, Pollinate Energy is merging with US-Nepal enterprise Empower Generation. Both organisations empower entrepreneurs to establish sales and distribution businesses that serve the most marginalised communities, improving quality of life and providing income to people living in poverty in India and Nepal.
